Keynotes & Coaching for Legal Professionals & Students Who’ve Tried All the "Right" Things

Reclaim direction, clarity, courage, & capacity—from a stable foundation so change can finally hold.

Capable, steady, and composed —that is how people describe you.
While inwardly you feel stretched thin, exhausted, or quietly wonder how long this pace is sustainable? You seem to have lost touch with why you chose the work you do. 


You've tried all the “right” things
—executive or leadership coaching, productivity training, time-management tools, mindfulness, performance coaching maybe even therapy —
and yet you still feel discouraged.


I’m Ruth Pearce. I know what it’s like to deliver at a high level while running on fumes. I know what it is like to be running non-stop - making unhealthy choices to wind down at the end of the day and get going at the start of the next day.
And I know how defeating it feels to try every recommended technique… and end up feeling the same or —worse.

Write your awesome label here.

Here’s the reality: your direction, clarity, courage, and capacity aren’t gone. They’re just buried under strain—and you can reclaim them without pushing harder or burning out.


Before you can change, you must stabilize and recover.
Only then can your system support meaningful, sustainable change— that actually holds.

Speaking & Coaching is Informed by the team's work at Nervous System Economy. This is the missing link.

Questions You May Be Asking

Q: Do you work with individuals, organizations, or both?

Both. I work with mid‑career professionals individually and with organizations that want support for their leaders and teams.

Q: Do you offer virtual as well as in‑person sessions?

Yes. Keynotes, workshops, and coaching can all be delivered virtually.

Q: How do I know where to start?

If you’re not sure whether speaking or coaching is the best fit, we can talk it through on a short discovery call.

Q: Do you offer interview preparation services?

Yes, I work with individuals who are preparing for an important job interview. I do background research on the organization, review the resume/application, and then formulate practice interview questions. We meet for an hour a few days prior and then 1/2 an hour on the day of the interview (warm up) if you choose.
